Patient acts out dreams

41
Q

Narcolepsy

A

Cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep, attacks, sleep paralysis

42
Q

Hobson physiological views

A

Activation occurs in the pond as a dream generator
Stimulates:
Reticular (alertness)
Oculomor ( movement of eyeballs)
Vestibular( sence of balance and movement )

43

A

Lethal dose at which 50% of test subjects die

50
Q

Leaning

A

A relatively permanent change in behavior resulting from experience

51
Q

Classical conditioning

A

Establishing conditions under which a specific behavior is more likely to occur

52
Q

Reflex

A

A simple involuntary response to a specific stimuli

53
Q

Extinction

A

Eliminating a learned response

54
Q

Extinction burst

A
  • intense frequency burst of the behavior ( show balloon in face)
55
Q

Higher order conditioning

A

Means that a well established CS can be used as an UCS to produce a new conditioned response

56
Q

Stimulus generalization

A

Other stimuli relates to CS cause the same CR

57
Q

Discrimination stimulus

A

only the CS can cause the CR nothing similar ( cat food and cabinet door)

58
Q

Frequency-

A

How often

The more pairing of the neutral and the UCS the stronger the CR

59
Q

Timing

A

1/2 second between presentation is the neutral and UCS is ideal

60
Q

Food aversion

A

Violates two rules of classical conditioning

  • long time between pairings (hours not minutes
  • single trial learning (one time)
61
Q

Biological preparedness

A
  • individual becomes averse to the food not the plate or other neutral stimuli which are present during exposure
  • not everything a become a CS for food aversions
62
Q

Consciousness

A

Peaks at 8-9am and pm

Lows at 3pm and 3am

64

Means a reward (behavior will continue)

73
Q
